Moving the Arlo Floodlight’s WiFi connection using the Arlo login page

 

The Arlo Floodlight camera is among the most attractive-looking devices. Easy to set up and configure, these cameras can help light up your doorway, garden, and outdoor space while keeping a vigilant eye on the movements around. However, just like its counterparts, the Arlo floodlight requires a consistent network connection to record live footage. The device needs to be connected to a wireless network at all times. This blog will walk you through the steps to connect your Arlo floodlight camera to the base station/router and how to shuffle the connections between each of these using the Arlo login page.

Moving the WiFi connection to SmartHub/Base Station

You can change the Arlo floodlight’s wifi connection from the main router to SmartHub/ base station in easy steps. Here are some steps you can follow:

●     Launch the Arlo app on your smartphone.

●     If you wish, you can also use the Arlo login page using the my.arlo.com web address.

●     Add the SmartHub or Base Station to the Arlo account that your floodlight was connected to. If you’re on a trial subscription with this account, it will remain active.

●     Follow the on-screen app instructions to configure the SmartHub/Base Station and connect it to the internet.

●     Tap on the Settings button and then click on the My Devices option.

●     Select your floodlight from the list of devices you see on the screen.

●     Scroll down from the screen and tap on the Remove Device option from the screen. Your Arlo camera will now be reset and removed from your Arlo account.

●     Again, from the My Devices screen, tap on the Add New Device button and then select the Cameras option. Here, select the appropriate Floodlight camera model that corresponds to the one you are using.

●     Follow the on-screen Arlo app instructions to add the floodlight to the Arlo account again.

●     When the Arlo app detects your SmartHub or base station, you can proceed with the on-screen instructions to connect your floodlight to it.




Moving the connection to Direct Router

Your Arlo camera can be connected directly to the 2.4GHz network band of your router. Connecting the Arlo camera to your Arlo floodlight directly will still enable you to cross-trigger the Arlo chime and other paired cameras using the SmartHub or a base station. But, you won’t be able to store Arlo recordings on a local storage device, since they won’t be directly connected. If you wish to connect your Arlo camera to the router directly, here are some steps you can follow:

●     Launch the Arlo app on your smartphone and log in to the myarlo account that your Arlo floodlight camera was connected to originally.

●     Connect your Arlo camera to the 2.4GHz band of your home wifi network.

●     Now, tap Settings on your smartphone app and head to the My Devices section.

●     On the Devices screen, select the floodlight model.

●     Scroll down on the screen and tap on the Remove Device option. Your device will now be reset and removed from the Arlo account.

●     Again, from the My Devices screen, tap on the Add New Device button and then select the Cameras option. Here, select the appropriate Floodlight camera model that corresponds to the one you are using.

●     If the camera app detects a base station or SmartHub, tap on the Connect without SmartHub option.

You can now follow the on-screen Arlo app instructions to add the floodlight to the Arlo account again.
